Symptom

When a workflow is triggerd for a global assignment change and you have configured Dynamic Role HR in CC Role, source and target are reversed.

If Dynamic Role HR in CC Role is set to (Source), you will get the results for (target) and visa versa.

Cause

Working as designed.

Resolution

Source and Target can mean opposite things in different Global Assignment related workflows:

  • For workflows where a global assignment is being added or edited, Source is the home manager and Target is the host manager 
    Note: During addition of a new Global Assignment if Job Relationships is not set and workflow steps are defined to a target job relationship system will pick the host job relationship.
  • For workflows where a global assignment is being ended: Source is the host manager and Target is the home manager.
